Although not current news, it might be news to some .. that after having supplied a VVIP S-92 to the Government of Turkey, Sikorsky then supplied a similarly equipped S-92 to the Government of Azerbaijan operated by Azerbaijan Airlines.



Sikorsky's S-92 operated by Azerbaijan Airlines on behalf of the Azerbaijan Government (4K-AZ11) on August 10th 2010 at Adnan Menderes airport in Turkey

According to my guy in Sikorsky, the firm have been aggressively marketing the 92 for Head of State ops since losing out on the original (now disputed) 'VH' contract.

ps: Quite why Azerbaijan Airlines wanted to paint the aircraft's construction number above the cockpit .. I don't know. An Azerbaijani tradition perhaps!
